Miss Utah Marissa Powell, who looked stunning in a white strapless evening gown at the Miss USA pageant, bombed her final onstage question last night at the Planet Hollywood Casino & Resort in Las Vegas. "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star/Miss USA judge NeNe Leakes asked Powell, who was named the most photogenic at the pageant, to answer the following question:
"A recent report shows that in 40% of American families with children, women are the primary earners, yet they continue to earn less than men. What does this say about society?"
This is a great question, and something you'd expect a Miss USA candidate to be well-prepared for. It's part of a much larger discussion that has been going on for a long time now and it's a great opportunity for a Miss USA contestant to totally nail it.
Here's Miss Utah's incoherent response, though:
"I think that we can relate this back to education and how we are continuing to try to strive to...figure out how to create jobs right now, that is the greatest problem. I think especially the men are, um, seen as the leaders of this so we need to try to figure out how to create education better so we can solve this problem.
You can really see the heartbreak and disappointment in Powell's eyes in the video posted below. She clearly knew she messed it up.

Guam tipping over http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cesSRfXqS1Q
and vegetable trees at the Santa Cruz City Council while the East has slaves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJZsVbCu4Hk
may be competitive with Miss South Carolina. Liberals live is such a simple world!
Ava Gardner look-alike, for those of us old enough to recall and not so old that we can’t.
Question asked....question answered...
We, yes, maps need us much.
It’s too bad (for Al Sharpton) that Al Sharpton never competed in a pageant.
Oops. Forgot about that Guam ditty. That one was major scary as it was a Congressman, and not a meaningless beauty queen. I liked the response of the Admiral who was testifying - the nicest way you could possibly say “you can’t be that stupid”. I’ll check the vegetable trees later when I get home from work (youtube is blocked on the work network).
The answer is in the biased question. It is easy if you know the meaningless cliches of the Left.
I read the Hank Johnson comment about Guam tipping over due to overpopulation. if a conservative politician had made such an idiotic comment, it would have been all over the news. But “D” Georgia gets a pass. Typical.
That attitude from the Dems is the most revolting kind of racism. Liberals don’t expect a black man to know that islands don’t tip over. Sadly, they’re not even ashamed of that double standard.
If she tried to say that men are evil and they deliberately discriminate against women and give men more money than women for the same work should would have been a free pass and a nobel peace prize.
From the Pew Poll giving us the number that 40 percent of households, the primary breadwinner is female: For married women, where the woman makes more than the man, the families earnings are $2,000 higher on average than where the man makes more than the woman. The problem, then, is single women having children. It’s not only a problem for these women, it’s a problem for their children and it’s a problem for society. The answer is to end welfare. Private charity will support those who need and should be supported. And, the girls who get knocked up to qualify for EBT will have to figure out some other line of work.
Think Kelly Bundy.
If in fact this premise were true, a CEO practicing capitalism would only hire women if he/she could get the same productivity for less cost. Go to Thomas Sowell’s book “Vision of the Annointed” for more evidence on deconstructing this BS.
That’s the answer I would have given, but not as soon or as well-done.
a Mormon girl who is from a family that believes women should not work outside the home, perhaps?
Pretty sure President Voldemort solved this issue at the start of his first term.
Good!! VERY good!!!
Did she say “South Africa?”
